.BR \-\-noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The
process will not wait for notification from udev.
It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running
or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
.SH EXAMPLE
To rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew:
.sp
.B lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew
.sp
An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is:

.B lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
.sp
